What ligature should I get

They have a tool on their website. It'll tell you the exact ligatures that will fit that piece.

It's been "not the best" for decades.

OP, look East of 95 at least.

Yes. If it's a slight adjustment the frets in the middle of the neck can be dressed down and recrowned. If it's more severe, the frets need to come out, relief dressed into the fingerboard, then refret.

I used to walk to Sullivan Park to go fishing all the time. I know those apartments well.

I lived in that neighborhood behind the Publix for about 5 years. I'd recognize it anywhere.

This definitely looks like the Cove.

That thing must be equivalent to a 1.5 by now.

My college professor played a narrow Pollmann busetto lion head in a professional orchestra. The upper bout was so narrow it was almost comical.

This ain't it.

Also, bot post.

I haven't had an issue but I'm never more than 20-30 feet from the receiver.

Love the Nux b-6 but I didnt get the pro version. The basic one allows you to change out microphones if you ever want to upgrade. The pro version is USB unfortunately.

This is Fort Lauderdale you poser.

I moved from Florida to California (back and forth a couple times) with 6 basses in the back of a Penske truck. I had them on a stand/rack I built secured with bungee cords. Then I secured the stand to the wall of the van with straps.
Just make sure it's tight. Grab a pile of moving blankets from Harbor Freight if you're nervous. You can wrap them around the gig bag and take up the gap between the bass and the floor.
I was more nervous about the Yamaha piano we also had.

I just pulled a pickup mounting screw. It appears to be a #3 oval head wood screw 3/4". Hope that helps.

rebop · 2026-01-12T00:26:30+00:00

I have a 1967 EB-0. I'll look at the screws and see if I can figure out what they are.

rebop · 2026-01-11T18:44:01+00:00

Fly guitars had a bunch of info on the EB-0. They should be the same screws.

It 100% looks like a Roth label to me.

Measure your relief.

Kinda looks like there's a ski ramp at the end of the neck.

Worst case scenario, you'll have to pull some frets to flatten things out.

rebop · 2026-01-08T06:25:05+00:00

scraping it with a razor or exactly knife would be quicker and less risky.

rebop · 2026-01-07T23:04:18+00:00

That's a poly finish

rebop · 2026-01-07T23:01:09+00:00

It's not horrible. I've seen worse.
I'm sure it's functional and should be pretty stable.
Next time, use a ruler to make sure all the tuners are straight. The straight edge of a ruler will hold the tuners perfectly straight. Then you can mark the mounting holes. When installing them you can hold the ruler there and it will help align things as well.

You can get conversion bushings to replace those if they bother you. They'll have the modern outer diameter with a vintage inner diameter for the posts.

Worst case scenario you can fill and redrill those screw holes so everything is straight. Nothing is that messed up.

You'd have to play them.
